How to Fire a Client

On the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast, I teach you how to increase your profits and enjoy your business more. In this episode, you’ll learn how (and why) to fire a client.

If you’ve ever been out with colleagues venting about a client and heard them say, “Wow, you should fire that client,” today’s episode is for you.

I’ve had clients who’ve asked me, “How do I fire this client?” And I’ve had this experience myself, too. It’s important for you to know: you CAN fire a client. You’re not stuck with them, and you don’t have to be trapped in a terrible situation. If you wanted to be miserable and stuck, you would have stayed back at corporate. 😉

In this episode, I talk about what you need to do to make firing a client the least horrible experience for everyone involved.
